show removed material?
(OP)
I'm detailing a part to be made from a commercial sprocket. The model shows it in modified form, with most of the hub parted or faced off. I want to show and dimension the material that _used_to_be_there_ to give the bidder a fair picture of how much metal must be removed.
The way I'd do it on paper is a couple of phantom line rectangles in a section view, a reference dimension, and a flag 'remove', or something like that.
What is the SW way?

I put a sketch on the drawing view. So far so good.

If a part is created from another (blank or purchased part), I would insert that as a base part and remove material as required.
